SmackDown Live Live SmackDown Discussion thread, May 24th 2024: K&QOTR Semi-Finals "Live" from Saudi Arabia

[Dale]

Bianca Belair seeks to overcome Nia Jax in Queen of the Ring semifinal​

There’s just one match left until the Queen of the Ring Final, and The EST and Nia Jax will battle it out to make it there.

The EST bested Candice LeRae and Tiffany Stratton, setting up a meeting with Jax, who took out Naomi and Jade Cargill in the tournament.

Belair and Jax have never faced each other one-on-one and with the crown just inches away, each Superstar will be out to prove herself.

Who will book her place in the Queen of the Ring Final?
​

Randy Orton looks to take out Tama Tonga and The Bloodline​

This past SmackDown, Randy Orton made his mission very clear: take out the man who put Kevin Owens on the shelf and advance to the King of the Ring Final.

Orton slithered his way into the semifinal after taking out AJ Styles and Carmelo Hayes, while Tama Tonga bested Angelo Dawkins and LA Knight.

Despite having a stacked trophy cabinet, The Viper has never won the King of the Ring Tournament. Before this year, Orton had not yet won a single King of the Ring Match in his career, having fallen to Kurt Angle in the First Round in 2006, his only appearance to date.

Can Orton make good on his promise to reach the King of the Ring Final and eliminate The Bloodline?
​

Bayley battles Chelsea Green​

After a brief backstage confrontation, Bayley shut Chelsea Green by challenging her to a match, which Nick Aldis then made official.

These two Superstars have never squared off one-on-one, with Bayley seeking to be a fighting champion, while Green is finding her footing on the SmackDown brand, after just being drafted there, along with partner Piper Niven, during the 2024 WWE Draft.

Which Superstar will come out on top?
​

The Street Profits go to war with The Bloodline​

Even without Bobby Lashley, The Street Profits are out for payback, looking to take out Solo Sikoa and Tonga Loa of The Bloodline.

Angelo Dawkins wishes to avenge his loss to The Bloodline’s Tama Tonga in the King of the Ring Tournament.

Newest Bloodline member Tonga Loa will make his WWE debut in this match as well, adding further intrigue to the bout.​

Thanks for the reminder. I’ll have to make sure to be extra careful.

No Tonga Loa, might explain why that tag match isn't listed anymore.​

- Will there be any violence between Cody Rhodes and Logan Paul in their final confrontation tonight?
- Will Randy Orton beat Tama Tonga tonight in order to qualify in the King of the Ring finals tomorrow against WALTER?
- Will Nia Jax out of ALL the women somehow save us from another undeserved win by Bianca Belair?
- Will Bayley be able to defeat Chelsea Green tonight?
- Will the Street Profits be able to pick up a victory against "the Bloodline" tonight?

Everytime they do a show in Saudi Arabia it's a trip to see how fast western influence has penetrated the crowds.....the first show was like Collission in Korea.....now it can pass as any random Smackdown in the states.
